Blind hirosan's new Theme Song by Jonathan Mann - "Ryo Hirosawa"

I haven't laughed out loud this much for years since I lost my eyesight... until I heard this song: A song named after my name "Ryo Hirosawa" as Jonathan Mann's "Song A Day" project!
It seems that Darrell talked to Jonathan about writing a song for me to cheer up after losing my eyes, and I didn't know until very recently!
Thanks Jonathan and Darrell for a great cheer-up song: This "medicine music" takes in effect instantly, and absorbed deep in my heart!

About Me

Ryo Hirosawa is an advantitiously blind man since 2009, after suffering from glaucoma caused by Idiopathic Dilated Cardiomyopathy. Though I was given 1 year to live, I've lived over decades.
While this society in Japan tried to exclude me, I decided to fly to America to learn human echolocation to reclaim independence, freedom and responsibility. Now I have a skill to "see the world by sound" and still in the process of "recovery and discovery."
Photography is the part of my whole life, and the instinct never dies after becoming completely blind with absolutely no sense of light. Now I'm "seeing through the lens with sound" and continue shooting phothave a look at my photos on flickr or instagram under username "blindhirosan"
cheers and thanks for checking my profile!
ひろサワ亮と言います。特発性拡張型心筋症に起因する緑内障から、全盲になりました。引きこもりの毎日の中で、社会から疎遠になっていく自分を変えたいと思い、アメリカで人間のエコーロケーション（反響定位）を、ホワン・ルイズ、ダニエル・キッシュとブライアン・ブッシュウェイから学びました。絵エコロケーションの訓練の日々は、音による新しい発見の毎日でした。
失明以前から写真を撮るのが好きで、視覚障害者になって、写真を撮るのを諦めかけましたが、現在はエコーロケションを駆使して、全盲写真家のつもりで写真を撮っています。ほとんどの写真は、ウリッカーもしくはInstagram(blindhirosan)で公開していますので、どうぞご覧ください。
